Hi All,
11 months in! It's been quite a ride so far.
For the first 8 months or so, I was abstaining from drugs and alcohol successfully. Here and there I would have thoughts of using, but they weren't overwhelming and I could get by once I understood they would pass. That was until my anxiety came back full swing and I was slipping into a dissociative, depressive state. At that point, I knew had to make a change.
I started therapy and attending AA meetings, 1-3/week at least. Right now I have a commitment at what I would consider my homegroup, and it's going well. Incredibly grateful to be sober and gaining in life in ways I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
Best to all you newcomers like myself! We can do this.
